Little did i know when i started filling 2010 albums with my son that it would lead to the days of spending £400 at a time buying loose vintage sets for an ever increasing collection. I am now at the stage of looking to acquire mint quality items in the hope in the future they will yield good returns when i finally 'Panini retire'.

My collecting has evolved in the following stages:

1. Completing albums (empty and near complete) with loose stickers

2. Buying loose stickers trying to complete sets

3. Slight foray into the sticker packet collecting (never went too far)

4. Buying empty albums to go alongside sets i had managed to obtain

5. Buying sets/albums in the higher end of the market

Has anyone had a similar collecting progress to mine or has anyone done it differently?
